Can’t wait for him to snap a goal so we can say - the Ginger Nut Snaps!

    He did, in round 1.  It was awesome how the team got around him.

    I was going to start a new thread on this but I’ll just chuck a comment in here about it.

    I’m actually fine with the media/AFL spotlight being on other teams and players almost all the time ESPECIALLY when we are the team to beat. 
     

    I’d rather we fly under the radar and win the only thing that really counts for players: Premierships.

     

    I’d rather a Daicos get attention than Bowie for example, just let him do his thing without extra attention.
     

    However this might just be a reflection of me as a life long (36 years) dees supporter that’s easily spooked the year after finally winning a flag.

    Am I being overly paranoid about the bad effects lots of attention can do to a team? Is recognition better than being ignored for player/team confidence?

    Well done JB. Outstanding game considering the amount of experience we were missing in defence. 
    he is playing a senior role after 9 games…

    I don’t disagree in general, but I see Bowser as very grounded and unlikely to get a big head so very happy for him to receive all the plaudits he richly deserves.

    He has elite skills and decision making. It is so stark atm with our backline minus Lever, Petty, and Salem.

    From 'stop-gap', to Premiership player, to star player in a few months.  Unprecedented!

    Bloody Hell, he's still just a kid!

    I think it is all a bit of hype, just because of how much he looks like the perfect modern prototype footballer.

    If he ever gets injured we are stuffed. No Bowey no Melbourne. 

    Getting to the point that is not a joke anymore, so critical with Salem and Lever out.

    Two rising star nominations and a premiership medallion in 9 games.

    With an award every three games, it's quite possible he'll win the brownlow three times this year, the coleman medal, the norm smith and the rising star.

    Agree and watching the highlights of him is really quick off the first 5 steps. creates space so easily

    A joy to watch. Add him to the list of 2 who you completely relax when they have the ball (Sales and Bowey)

    Wow! Well done Jake Bowey!

    9 games and 9 wins so far. His calmness under pressure and his foot skills as well as his decision making is a pleasure to watch.

    He also has 2 NAB Rising Star nominations now and a 2021 AFL Premiership medallion to go with it!

    The most exciting thing is he will continue to get better and better as a footballer as he gains more AFL experience.

    Bluey Bowser has been fantastic for the Melbourne Demons so far! However, we definitely shouldn't forsake the profound impact (my favourite) Mark "Choco" Williams has had in developing these young players at the Melbourne Demons.

    Hate to put the Mozz on him but a win on the weekend makes him the most undefeated player ever. (Plus a flag, and the list of awards previously mentioned in this thread). Unfortunately this  cant last forever!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
